módulo Ask for a Quote PRO

The base module adds the possibility for clients to submit quotes with any product, bargain, and turn this into an order! Is a real Must Have for B2B and catalog mode shops (not mandatory)! This PRO version enhances it all with lots of new features!

We can really admit in this case, that the good got even better, and all this based on Your feedback and requests!

~ All features presented in this version were requested by You! ~

As not each is a demanding "must-have" option, we decided to bundle these into a more enhanced and feature rich version of our module called Ask for a Quote PRO for Prestashop, as together they form quite a nice and feature rich plus, worth of an upgrade!

But what exactly this module does?

If you are here first, and did not seen our basic version yet, here's the presentation. For the PLUS features this offers, see below at Features section.

Let’s settle a fact first: hiding a price or the cart, does not mean that sales are turned off!

Wholesales, B2B type shops, niche webshops or market style e-businesses cannot always or do not want to allow direct purchases, or simply for some reason is not possible to display a price and a buy now button. Or, simply for the biggest customer satisfaction, just want to grant them the possibility to bargain or obtain more info about group of products.

If any of the above suits you, here’s what the quotation module has to offer:

Works perfectly side-by-side with normal cart

Works perfectly under catalog - if this is enabled in the shop

It is present in the Quick-View window too

Module can be freezed: clients cannot submit new bargains, but they can access their history (much better than the complete module disable feature)

Altough not mandatory, the module works perfectly in catalog mode – even more, it’s an almost compulsory plug-in if this is enabled

If Prestashop is normal selling mode, the module gets along completely with the default shopping cart, and you can even customize it to appear only in selected categories or next to the products which can’t be ordered on-line.

Don’t forget: successful bargaining is one of the foundations of good business; it ensures that both parties are content, and a happy customer can easily turn into a returning customer!

This is how it happens:

Similarly to the buying process, the customer places the products they are interested in into a virtual quote cart, and after filling out some text fields, asks the owner of the store for a quote. If sending is successful, both of them receive a notification, and a built-in messaging system also allows them to chat and to haggle. If both parties are content with the offer, the owner freezes the bargaining, which is transformed into an order, and the discount is deducted automatically as well.

Yes, our module works perfectly in catalog mode, but please note that in catalog mode, all order related features are turned off by Prestashop, so the „transform a quote to order” functionality will not be available.

May I try it before I buy it?

You cannot install it on your localhost or test server, but there is a demo website set up just for this purpose, accessible directly from the sales page of the module, from where you can access both front and back office. Be free to test all functionality .

Anyway, since you are reading this, we presume you already purchased it!

Can i run this on more than one website?

Short answer is no. When you download the module, you must enter the URL of the Prestashop install where you intend to use the product. Of course, our module does not have any tracer of spy script, so it will install and work on other websites, but please note, that you will loose all your support and refund rights in this case.

If you want to buy 5 or more licenses, please contact us and we can discuss about a discount!

Is the module compatible with my theme?

Hard to say. If your theme is derived from the default Prestashop theme, and has not been altered or edited too deeply, than it will work for sure as it inherits the basic Prestashop classes and formattings. However, if your theme was built from scratch, and it’s missing some core Prestashop hooks, fonts and scripts, than it might broke or look bad and must be adapted to your theme. If this is the case, please contact us and we will guide and help you!

Is it safe to upgrade the module?

From the submitted quotes point of view: yes it is, as we provide an upgrade script for each new version. Best is to connect to your Addons account directly from your Back office, and you will be notified when a new version is out.

From the applied changes and edits point of view: if they were done right, than yes. This means, that all changes and customisations should be done with file overrides in your theme directory, instead of direct original file editing, as these gets overwritten in the upgrade process.

Upgrading from basic to PRO helds some risks and if the case, you should contact us first!

Does the module work with products out of stock?

Yes it does. Ask for a Quote don't cares about the stock of products, because no actual order is taking place. However, the transform a quote to order feature might brake if the products or not available, but this is also due to the shop owner, since if he accepted / offered a reduction, he/she should have the stock ready for order.

Does the module work if price is zero?

Yes it does. Of course, if the case, you should hide zero prices, because clients could feel uncomfortable to receive a much higher offer from the owner for a product that had zero as price. If you need help with this, you can contact us after purchase and we can implement this for you upon agreement.

Is it possible to allow some goods to be sold online and for other, the customer must ask for a quote to receive prices?

Yes. The module allows the button to appear only in the case of products that are not available for order. On the customize page, you must activate this option (filter by product status), and for any product for which you want to enable this feature, in your Back office, on it's edit page, you must uncheck the "Available for order" option.

Your clients, if they want to buy a bigger lot or ask for a better price, have the possibility to ask details about certain products, bargain with a built-in messaging system, and agree on offer, which than can be transformed into an order. You can take the module as an actual between / complementary step in the order procedure as the process is very similar to the normal "Add to cart - Submit order" one.

They can bargain a price for their chosen products, and this increases the chances of purchase, since the final price was suggested and agreed by them too!

Recomendação

Version 4 works only under Prestashop 1.6.
